Here's what you need for each snake.
1 sterilite tub at least 32l or more
1 heat pad to cover no more than 1/3
Of bottom of the tub.
1 water bowel big enough for them to soak in. ( I like the big plastic dog bowls you can get them at walmart or dollar stores)
1 hide only big enough for them to cram themselves into. ( I like the plastic bowls bc in my tubs my snakes go under them and it serves as there cool end hide as well)
Things you need for heat monitoring, and basic set up
1thermostat- you can hook all of the heat pads up to this and it turns them on and off according to the temps the probe is getting.
1 digital indoor outdoor thermometer
This will go next to the thermostat probe and it will tell you exactly how hot your hot side is.
1 spray bottle- spray 2x daily for humidity.
How hot should the hotside be?
Between 90-92.f
How cold should the cold side be?
It will generally be in between 75-80.f
Why do they absolutely need the two different zones?
Bps regulate their temps by going back and forth. They are ectothermic. Given only a hotside they will over heat and dehydrate leading to possible constipation problems, shed issues, and also death. Given only a coldside they will not eat, and possible respiratory infections will occur. Worst case senarios Death.
So this is a pretty basic setup, and not to costly either. But this is what you absolutely need to do.
